The White Swan - Richmond

Eating was fabulous (the best yorkshire pudding I've ever had). we drove up by poole and fortunately arrived at 11.30 a.m. without reservation! fortunately, we were in the waiting queue as they reserve a few tables for walk-in's! Unfortunately no view from the garden terrace restaurants, which however do not restrict the wonderful intimate atmosphere! white swan is a great foundation!

Excellent: a nice pub, but restaurant quality eat the best of both worlds. so pleased that they went out of their way to accommodate us when they were fully booked.

I have been familiar with this restaurant for several years, as it is situated on the grounds of Richmond Palace, which was built by Henry Tudor in the 15th century. Tucked away near the Thames, this establishment is both understated and inviting.

We enjoyed our meal in a lovely, cozy outdoor seating area. It was a pleasant surprise to find such a variety of dishes available on the menu.

The beef Sunday Roast is simply amazing. Also the apple and the berries crumb with custard cream and the sticky truffle pudding.
